What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

"소프트웨어 엔지니어링은 죽어가는 게 아니다. 가격이 다시 매겨지고 있다. 2025년에 크게 들린 이야기는 해고였다. 2026년에 조용히 진행되는 이야기는 수요 증가다. Indeed의 2026년 2월 수치에 따르면 소프트웨어 엔지니어 채용 공고는 2025년 중반 바닥 이후 약 15% 상승했다. Citadel도 같은 신호를 요약했다: 소프트웨어 엔지니어 채용 공고가 전년 대비 11% 증가했다. 그렇다면 실제로 무슨 일이 일어나고 있는 걸까? 업계는 줄어드는 게 아니라 전문화되고 있다."

Quantum simulators mimic systems, directly encoding problems into the structure of the system. Unlike more flexible quantum computers, we can make and use them right now. Startup Silicon Quantum Computing has created a silicon quantum simulator that simulates how a material can change from an insulator to a metal. spectrum.ieee.org/quantum-twin

RE: infosec.exchange/@catsalad/116

To make matters worse derivative markets were created from those shitposts and they in turn were repackaged as top tier shitposts but were in reality even worse than the original sub-prime toots. Many people following the market had no idea that they were not genuine and not backed by actual shitposts. As if this weren't bad enough others retained options to recieve future shitposts.

Kate Riga makes an important point here about the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team and their interaction with Trump: "That is what you're scared of as a woman all the time. That men who are nice to your face, and who take photos with you, and nominally support you, the second you're out of the room are making fun of you and undermining you."

RE: mastodon.social/@leavex/116138

In terms of alternatives to X, it's interesting to compare German and British universities. The former seems to prefer the Fediverse, while the latter prefers BlueSky.

How are things going in this regard with universities and research institutes in other European countries?

so after being bedridden for 16months due to a hernia, I've finally got my surgery!
now I'm bedridden for recovery, fun!

I'm in a lot of debt from my illness and I've not found a job yet, so if you've got a couple dollars, it'd help me get through this last stretch. Thanks so much!

Here's a bit of good news for you, an important one too IMHO. Both Glovo and Deliveroo are now under judicial control in Italy, as both companies have been found brutally exploiting their gig workers and paying wages well below the poverty line. Under judicial administration the companies will be likely forced to hire their workers with regular contracts and working hours.

It said high-voltage reference on the tin. I expected high-voltage, just not 100kV.

This is it, right here, right now. The whole game.

All his voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other election cheating has led to this.

If Trump takes over elections, it’s game over for democracy in the United States.

If the people aren’t willing to shut down the country over this, it’s over.

A practical question that's come up in Arcalibre development: how should we handle AI-vulnerable dependencies?

forums.rereading.space/post/16

What should be done about dependencies that turn AI-vulnerable ? - rereading Forums

Hi. I’m Damien, a contributor to the project currently working on the pydofo library that’s meant to replace Calibre’s PoDoFo binding. Upon interacting with upstream to file a bug report [https://github.com/podofo/podofo/issues/318], I found out that the developer and maintainer of the library is experimenting with using Copilot [https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Apodofo%2Fpodofo+copilot&type=issues] to author PRs [https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Apodofo%2Fpodofo+copilot&type=pullrequests]. Per cgranade’s taxonomy, this means that unless the maintainer changes his(?) mind, the project is on track to become AI-vulnerable. So what am I to do about it ? One one hand, this seems very much contrary to the purpose and the ethos of the rereading project. On the other hand, the landscape looks grim and complete isolation from AI dependencies looks like an increasingly hard problem, the situation may repeat for any dependency at any point in time. What do you think should be the course of action here ? — Update: the exchange on the github issue went a bit further and the maintainer clarified its position and “experiments”. https://github.com/podofo/podofo/issues/318#issuecomment-3967036898 [https://github.com/podofo/podofo/issues/318#issuecomment-3967036898] > In this case it would have been an experiment only. As long as I am the maintainer, I guarantee this library will be free of AI slop. […] I’m not intellectually satisfied by the response, but I guess that exchange can be taken at face value and provides some sort of policy for AI contributions to the library. The issue of having a policy for handling such cases in the rereading Project still persists.

@catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) :paw::paw: There is a local Chinese place in Perrysburg, Ohio called Yum Yummy, and the woman who owns it is quite capable of murdering your taste buds.

My sister's stepson tried to order his food, 'as spicy as you can make it."

The owner was very hesitant. I tried to warn him, my wife tried to warn him. But in the end I said, "Ping? Let him have it!"

I think he sweat off a gallon of water in the next hour or so. He was hurting bad.

Every time we go in there now, we have a good laugh with the owner. She is so awesome.
